Rainbow [GET] A Man Called Ove: A Novel (and how I got it)
Disclaimer 1st:
This is pleasure reading - not related with IM or MMO, really.

How I came to have it:
Just lately I visited a friend's house and he had the paper version of this on his coffee table.
Since I was just hanging out and waiting for him to get back, I picked it up and started reading - mainly because I had seen a video clip from it at YT which I liked.
Great story, right from the start - so I wanted the ebook version of it and searched it out - and now I can read it at home.
(It also got made into a movie and audiobook, which I do not have...yet ?!?)

SP (Very well reviewed too !!):
Code:
https://www.amazon.com/Man-Called-Ove-Novel/dp/1476738025

Quote:Read the New York Times bestseller that has taken the world by storm!

In this “charming debut” (People) from one of Sweden’s most successful authors, a grumpy yet loveable man finds his solitary world turned on its head when a boisterous young family moves in next door.

Meet Ove. He’s a curmudgeon—the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. People call him “the bitter neighbor from hell.” But must Ove be bitter just because he doesn’t walk around with a smile plastered to his face all the time?

Behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness. So when one November morning a chatty young couple with two chatty young daughters move in next door and accidentally flatten Ove’s mailbox, it is the lead-in to a comical and heartwarming tale of unkempt cats, unexpected friendship, and the ancient art of backing up a U-Haul. All of which will change one cranky old man and a local residents’ association to their very foundations.

A feel-good story in the spirit of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand, Fredrik Backman’s novel about the angry old man next door is a thoughtful exploration of the profound impact one life has on countless others. “If there was an award for ‘Most Charming Book of the Year,’ this first novel by a Swedish blogger-turned-overnight-sensation would win hands down” (Booklist, starred review).

Very cool - a blogger who has done well at writing books - inspiring !!
Now I share it here for anyone who wants it as MOBI, PDF and EPUB.

No PW used anyplace, hopefully it'll stay up long enough for everyone wanting it to get it.

In my searching I ran across this helpful site for ebooks:
Code:
https://www.aazea.com/book/?taxonomy=book_genres
This 2nd one Is just included for reference as it is very unusual to get any DL links from there, it seems:
Code:
https://downloadallbooks.com/
Maybe others know of these, but they are new to me and the 1st worked WAY better for me than the 2nd one did.

Enjoy !!

Indeed.
I did say (above...) that the 1st site worked better for me than the 2nd one.
Also, I did find a link or 2, but not the ebook I was really wanting right then, so I looked elsewhere and gave up on that 2nd site.
